Pelorus Cottage

Padstow, Cornwall

Pelorus Cottage at Trevose Head Lighthouse in Padstow, Cornwall is one of four holiday cottages available at the lighthouse, which was built in 1847 and is located on a headland between Harlyn and Constantine Bays. The cottages are semi-detached, with the lighthouse positioned in the middle, and offer fine views of the sea, with the South West Coast path running nearby. Guests can watch fishing boats coming in and out of Padstow from this unique location.

The lighthouse site also includes Brook Cottage, Verity Cottage, and Nimbus Cottage, all of which accommodate four guests each. The cottages are equipped with two travel cots and highchairs on request, and two well-behaved dogs are welcome with a small additional charge. However, guests should be aware of limited mobile signal, regular maintenance visits, and narrow access roads to the site, which may have overhanging vegetation at times due to environmental restrictions.

Guests are reminded that they are renting a heritage building, so features like steps, stairs, and floor levels may not comply with modern standards. The accommodation is on the ground floor, but there are internal steps and level changes within the property. While a barbecue is not provided, guests can bring their own, subject to safety precautions. Fireworks, drones, and remote controlled flying equipment are not permitted, and the WiFi service may be intermittent, suitable for light browsing but not for streaming or gaming due to the remote location of the cottages.
